## Summary

Survey the wall and define how the new subframe is anchored. Openings, drainage and fire strategy must remain coordinated; covering defects with attractive panels does not repair the underlying envelope.

## Planning and verification

Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.

## Handover and maintenance

Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.
